My team got beaten in a Cup match against the team shown below. I played a 3-5-2 V style with long passing focus on the flanks, and my team got beaten 2-0 at home. I started with a defensive mentality, and I switch to attacking and removed the forced counter attack after my team conceded the first goal. Some help please; I need to beat this team by at least a goal margin of 2 (or 3 if he manages to score).

Please take into consideration that I have no player for MR position; so 4-1-4-1 should to be avoided if possible.
This is what I would do. However, I don't know your team or players...
4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond. Attacking/through the middle/whole pitch/hard/short/zonal - no counter/no offsides. Reds on DL, DR, DMC, MC, MC and AMC.
If possible, max win bonus, morale and condition. If you have 2 tokens to spare, use them to make him play 3 hours immediately following his league game so his players will have their condition drained.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. Make him play 3 hours after he had a match is a nice tactic, but I don't have access to his fixtures because he plays in another league.
My team is as shown in the picture below.

Nordeus automatically locks out the 6 hour window, surrounding our matches. So if you're league match is at 10:00, you can't move the cup match to anytime between 07:00 and 13:00. This rescheduling also accounts for your opponents matches, so there will be a time frame window with locked out match-times outside of that 6 hour interval. For example, if you can't schedule the match at anytime after 06:30, it means the opponent's match is at 09:30 that day.Quote:

I am considering stopping using 4-5-1 V and 3-5-1 V as my main formations though. On paper, these formations seemed to be very strong and difficult to counter, especially the 4-5-1 V, but I don't trust these formations now. Lately, I had quite a few unconvincing results with these formations despite that these formations appeared to counter the formations used by the opponents. Some things in this game seem to have changed.
It seems strange. If I recall correctly, you're @ level 2, and at that level quality should overwhelm more than at higher levels (assuming quality isn't * relative).
Maybe, because I have noticed that my team was unconvincing in many matches where I should have won more convincingly given the players that I have and the tactics I have used. At the start in season 1, things were much better. Then, in the final 2 weeks or so, I have noticed something strange, as if my team was 'blocked'. This strange effect continued this season. The only relation with this strange effect that I have noticed is that it occurred when there is some construction going on; many forum users said it was just coincidence. During this match, I had a construction going on as well.Quote:

As pcmacdaniel said 4-1-2-1-2 should do the job I had a similar situation this week, lost the first match 4-1 using 4-1-4-1 and second leg I won 7-3 using 4-1-2-1-2 the opponent was stronger than my team.
I don't want to risk playing a player out of position; I have tried playing players out of position before and it does seem to affect my team's performance negatively.Quote:

When I observe my team playing during these bad periods, it seems that my team is being 'blocked'. After a construction is complete, I can clearly see the 'release', and my team performs as it should again, winning convincingly against teams of lower quality.Quote:

don't hesitate mate just use the best tactic: ND :)
i don't understand Daniel every time is forcing hard tackle, why? once tried in cup final got spitting achievment in 16th min (red card) cup has gone (4th lvl)... until that player doesn't even got yellow lol!
edit: oooh and second trying was a disaster too! got bully achi :rolleyes:
NEVER EVER HARD tackle anymore! :o
Maybe for Nordeus, hard tackling means spitting; maybe when they play football, they tackle their opponent with their mouth and their saliva.
I ve tried the Differents.Quote:

I ve founded out that I dont get more yellow card. There are only more fouls and the opponent get more freekicks. That is my Observation.
It depends; this seem to vary. Some teams get more yellow cards while others might still get away without any yellow card. Maybe the players involved have a significant role to play in this.Quote:

Plus, I didn't get the bad habit or bully acheivements until level 9. Maybe my defenders have just been good at getting the ball instead of the player? :)Quote:

The way the comments were going on, it seemed that the results for both legs were already decided before the matches started.
I have decided that I will no longer buy tokens; it is not worth putting money in this game.

Thanks everyone for the replies and for the help.
sorry for result mate!
i don't change formation*** or very rare occasionally... you swapped complete tactic and from statistic you had no luck (same shoots on target vs scoring goals)
*** too many times saved my butt the second half ... oppo lead by 2-3 goals and i kept my formations and managed to draw/win from bad situations....
No worries; you are not at fault. It is the game that is wrong. I have doubts on whether the methods used to determine the results in this game are correct.
The good thing is that I will no longer waste my money and so much time on such a game. I will complete this season working on the tactics and attending most matches, and then, as from next season, I probably will leave the game mostly on auto mode. One thing is for sure: I won't buy any more tokens.
I think, if you want to Play on Auto mode, you can get good results by using 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1. Normal, mixed, own half, short, hard, zonal. no arrows. both formations with These orders are good Auto pilots :)Quote:
